I'm set on getting a Ryzen 5 9600X CPU, and now I'm trying to decide on a GPU to pair it with. The options I'm considering are the RX 6600 and the RX 9060 XT. The latter is about 50 euros more expensive in my area. Is the extra cost worth it, or will the RX 6600 suffice?

Go for the RX 9060 XT if it's the 16GB version! It's a great match for 1440p gaming and is super efficient. A solid 550W PSU will do the trick, so you won't need anything overly powerful for your build. Plus, you'll get smoother performance overall.
Just get the RX 9060 XT, hands down! It’s a perfect fit for your 9600X. I recently got mine and it runs like a dream. It's quiet and efficient, plus it handles 1440p and even some 4K pretty well on medium settings.
I might get it from Galaxus.de as well. Sounds like a good choice!
Honestly, bottlenecking isn't something most people need to stress over. As long as your CPU and GPU are from the same generation and tier, you'll be fine. The RX 9060 XT 16GB is one of the best choices for performance in the current market, especially at a decent price.
Thanks for clarifying! I've been confused about bottlenecks for so long.
I totally agree! That combo is perfect. You’ll have a great gaming experience with the 9060 XT.
